Because sleep quality is critical to physical and mental health I am passionate about helping people get good sleep. I received my PhD from Duke University and have been a practicing psychologist for many years. I work primarily with behavioral sleep medicine because sleep problems are so widespread and there are not enough specialists to meet the need. I continue working with people with anxiety, depression, and couples issues. The methods I use are evidence-based and trauma-informed. I am also an ordained member of the clergy (rabbi) and consider one's spirituality an important part of treatment for many, though not all people. I’ve practiced telehealth exclusively since early 2020. Most people like working this way because of convenience. Therapy is not adversely affected and I am even able to do hypnosis via telehealth.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

We begin by exploring what brought you to therapy and how the issues affect your life. If poor sleep is an issue, we discuss current and past sleep and begin to create and implement a treatment plan. Often, when we fix sleep, other issues become easier to address and make therapy go more quickly.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I have broad experience in treating a variety of mental health issues. And because of my experience, I can draw on a wide array of treatment methods and techniques. One of the most important things I've learned over the years is to pay attention to the first in front of me and listen to their story.
